THanks Bob like them and yes over here to get a set of metric and imperial to the finished accuracy I would aim for would be exorbitant. I have one set I use for the rare dismantling.
When I made mine I used rock hard timber was a trial to mount a cut off mandrel at right angles all round using my set up I just thought nothing wrong with using round stock so easy to bore a centre hole accurately and fit a cut off mandrel and use sleeves my way. There is very little strain to hold the unit against the mitre at right angles this way I slide the mitre across the twelve inch multi purpose sander to use all of the useable sanding disk, I find out toward the edge for roughing toward the centre vibration free to finish the squaring.
I must say I like the conversation a beautifully machined project as this was by William refreshing I compare it to Georges finished turning above my ability and something to aspire to along the way some alternatives popped up always welcome.
Peter.
